Chara's hands go to their face, the only two surfaces where skin is visible, thanks to the sweater (yes they are sweltering and dehydrated to boot. This kid...). It stings a great deal, but they have a high pain tolerance. Their fingers meet rough surface, and they hook and peel away a kind of terrifyingly impressive large patch.
They look at it between thumb and forefinger. That sure is a thing - they've peeled before, their skin is not very resistant to the sun, but not that badly. They can feel their legs might have burned through the cloth, too. They let it fall onto the grass and look back up at her. The apology drips off like water.
"Is it lethal?"
It gets asked like someone might ask another's opinion on this cloud shape - mainly idle interest and very little worry. But then again... that's right, they have a passenger. They can trade pain back and forth, but really death.
"It is called poisoning, so that implies treatment is an antidote."
There's an implicit question there, in the slightest lift of eyebrows - but they don't trust her enough to ask outright.
